Chapter 434: Railcar Party Struggle
The scorching sun shines on the earth, and occasionally a mischievous breeze can bring coolness to people. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Under this scorching sun, a group of young people with red fruits are practicing hard. A middle-aged man who looked elegant and elegant, like them, practiced martial arts together under the big sun, and his agility was completely inconsistent with his age, not inferior to ordinary young people, at this time, a horse galloped in the distance.
Someone came to the vicinity of this group of people, lifted the reins and waited for the horse to slow down slightly, then turned over and dismounted, it can be seen from the neat skills that this young man has grown up on horseback since he was a child, Li Chen carefully trained the Zuo Shence army, and recruited a lot of cavalry. However, even if these people had a foundation in horseback riding and had been trained hard, they were by no means as neat as this young man.
'Father. The young man who dismounted walked in front of the middle-aged man who took the lead and shouted. Not only from the title, but also from the eyebrows, it can also be seen that the two are blood relatives.
'Deep and. The middle-aged man nodded to his son and turned around and announced, "During the break, everyone go and give me a good rest and drink plenty of water." With that, he walked with his son to a nearby shaded place and asked, 'How are things going?' ’
'It's very successful, my father, the Li family, the Wu family, these major surnames have agreed to act with us. ', known as a young man with a deep child, answered his father excitedly. The middle-aged man also nodded his head, "Okay, that stupid thing is so brutal that they don't even support their own people." Now with the help of these companies, we can expect great things. I often tell you that those who have attained the Tao live more, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. ''Well, we can avenge those who died.'' ’
'Just wait for a chance now. The middle-aged man's eyes were far-reaching and sharp, "But father, what if you don't have a chance?" The young man asked, 'No chance?' No, the opportunity has already come, but we are not yet complete, and we must complete ourselves if we have the opportunity. Sun Tzu's Art of War doesn't say that there is a gap in treating the enemy with one's own gaps. The young man suddenly realized, and nodded as if he knew whether he knew whether he knew what to do.
And in the distance, there was a procession in the sun, 'It was a public carriage, but why bother with any tracks?' Gao Biao looked at this strange carriage with curiosity.
This team, not relying on their own feet to advance, they all sat on the big carriage, leisurely forward, quite the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Army had the style, now there is no more, but in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Army had to have plenty of horses, which could support the transportation of a large number of soldiers, and now, they also enjoy this kind of treatment.
'This is no ordinary public carriage, is it scary to have no knowledge?' Li Chengyi on the side shook his head, in exchange for Gao Yu's angry eyes, "Are you going to call me to dry clothes?" ''I don't know like a barbarian.'' ’
'Okay, you don't have to say a word. Xiaohu was a peacemaker and came out to mediate, "Someone is watching, don't embarrass my gods." ''Hmph. The two of them did not speak, snorted, and turned their heads away.
After Gao Biao joined, he quickly became familiar with Xiaohu and Li Chengyi. Because of the grass to create the Shence Left Army, there are no high-level officers, basically a dozen officers, all of whom were sent by Li Chen in order to break into the Shence Army. Gao Yu is the only outsider.
Although he is an outsider, he is from a family of generals, and with his family history, he quickly dissolved into this army that only has strict military discipline and hard training. also because there are no high-ranking officers, and they are all young people, when Gao Yu dissolved into the army, he also entered Xiaohu's circle.
Gao Biao likes this new army that retains the old name, and he thinks that this is an army. Everyone in the army is a comrade, and they are strict in training and strict in military discipline on the battlefield. When not trained, there are various activities in the army so that soldiers can relax.
Let them feel that this is our home, this is not a military camp, just a big family with strict regulations. The method of sitting, which should have been very strict, has also become a bond to maintain feelings, one is honorable, and the other is damaged. Let everyone on the same team have a deep feeling.
Of course, the deep feelings are not impossible to make awkwardness. Occasionally, he relies on his family history to show his superiority, Xiaohu doesn't matter, Li Chengyi will use a lot of astronomical knowledge to come back ironically. He also said that he was just a mindless and hands-on barbarian.
Of course, this is just a small dispute, usually the mediator is Xiaohu, and the two of them will go down the slope, and no one really wants to make a big fuss or anything.
This kind of railroad carriage was originally used in the mines. Seeing that the two of them were silent, Xiaohu had to explain to himself, "The four-wheeled carriage has increased its carrying capacity, but if the ground is uneven or it rains, it is easy to be affected. Once the tracks are laid, heavier loads can be carried. ’
'That shop. Gao Biao heard Xiaohu's explanation, turned around and said, pointing to the ground next to him with his hand, "Wouldn't it be good to pounce on this kind of cement road?" How convenient this thing is, no matter how heavy the carriage is, it won't crush him. ’
I don't know. Xiaohu shrugged, "But the mine has paved this kind of thing, and the effect is very significant." ’
Xiaohu and their left army of 3,000 people, now the whole army has been drawn out of Chang'an. They finally understood why the cement road was paved so wide in the first place, and what the strange combination of horizontal and straight wood they saw on the way back to Chang'an. It's all for the sake of what they can now ride, and a four-wheeled carriage on the tracks.
The four-wheeled carriage was specially laid by Li Chen in order to carry goods conveniently. At first it was very opposed, because no one felt the need to spend a lot of money on such a strange thing. Li Chen didn't want to explain so much to them, so he said directly, the inner treasury paid for it, and the Ministry of Industry implemented it. The Ministry of Industry had no choice but to pinch his nose and resign himself to doing it.
Why do you need to lay a rail-drawn carriage? Wouldn't it be nice to have a four-wheeled carriage with a concrete road. The reason is simple: the carrying capacity of the railroad is much stronger than that of the concrete road. It is designed to have a larger load capacity than the cement pavement. Moreover, in the Chang'an area in winter, the river water will freeze. There is a horse-drawn carriage, as long as the snow is removed, it can still go.
Secondly, this is the most important thing, Li Chen is preparing for the train. He has already asked the research institute to start research on the steam engine, how long will it take to complete? I don't know, anyway, prepare early, absolutely yes.
Originally, in history, the railcar appeared before the train. The British dug a lot of canals for the convenience of domestic transportation. Where the canal can't be reached, there are horse-drawn carriages. It is very convenient to transport heavy loads, such as ores.
Originally, the train also ran on the route of the horse-drawn carriage. Otherwise, do you think it is necessary to lay a special line for the test run of the train?
Xiaohu They went out of Chang'an, and enjoyed the Tang Dynasty in front of many people, and the railroad carriage won the honor of carrying people for the first time, although they didn't feel it at all, and then got off the bus in Meixian County, and wanted to get on the ramp from here. And when they set off, Li Chen was losing his temper in the Zichen Palace.
Recently, the trend of attacking the imperial examination system has become more and more intense, and many people have seized on the scholar who is looking for shortcomings, thinking that the previous imperial examination has not forced people to die, and the new imperial examination is too strict.
Among them, Li Deyu was the most attacked. Many people directly attacked him as the chief examiner, thinking that it was a shame to let a shadow official who had not gained fame serve as the chief examiner. found out the deeds of Li Deyu in the past, stopped the Qujiang banquet, and thought that he wanted to destroy the imperial examination at all.
The latter doesn't count, the previous one is already considered a personal attack. But Li Deyu didn't react himself, and still did his thing. On the contrary, those officials who were born in the shadow began to fight back, satirizing those who knew that there were drawbacks in the scientific examination and still insisted on the status quo, and they were the ones who benefited the most from the fraud, and said that even if they were officials from the imperial examination, they did not necessarily have knowledge.
The two sides quarreled more and more fiercely, and in the end, the supporters of both sides set up newspapers. Opposing the reform of the imperial examination, they originally approached the Suncheon Daily and wanted to print their views in the newspaper. Because Suncheon Daily also reported on this incident.
However, Suncheon Daily has a neutral stance, or is fundamentally inclined to reform, and does not look at who is the boss behind it. The statements of those who oppose them are too radical and simply ignored. Shuncheon Daily only focused on reporting on the necessity of the reform of the imperial examination, and discussed why those who seek shortness and why they are short, and even began to discuss the background of other short-looking people, saying that life is precious, and before looking for short, we should think about our relatives and friends.
Seeing the Shuncheon Daily, he didn't want to make a big deal small, and those who opposed the imperial examination didn't agree. Since Shuncheon Daily ignored it, they simply ran their own newspaper. Shuncheon Daily asked for money, but they didn't need it, and soon, tens of thousands of yuan were distributed in large quantities in a short period of time. Hit the sales of Suncheon Daily.
Those who are in favor of the reform of the imperial examination, when they see that this is not good, if you run a newspaper, I will not do it? They also ran one, specifically in favor of the reform of the imperial examination.
Don't they spend much money, you say? Actually, it's okay. Because of Li Chen's relationship, there are now a large number of paper mills near Chang'an, although some are run by the royal family, but more are run by businessmen who feel that they are profitable.
Because Li Chen first began to print a large number of books, all of which were not Buddhist scriptures, in addition to the four books and five classics, there were many stories he wrote, and of course, newspapers. The volume is large, which drives down the price and further stimulates sales. As a result, a large number of paper mills and printing houses appeared. Let the cost of running a newspaper be reduced a lot. They can afford to run a newspaper.
Originally, Li Chen was still watching a good show, but Li Chen was happy to see the appearance of other newspapers. However, Li Chen, who originally felt that it was none of his business and hung high, faced a headache.
I said, "Aren't these people too idle?" Li Chen looked at this large pile of concerts, all of which were against and reformed the imperial examination, and there were already a lot of people, but fortunately, there were a lot of them. These were all left by Li Chen.
In the face of this wave of opposition, Li Chen made a decision. (To be continued.) )
